About Spine Science

Dr. Schroeder has had the pleasure of serving patients in the heart of beautiful downtown Chicago just a few blocks west of Navy Pier for the last three years and always envisioned bringing a chiropractic sports performance facility to the southwest suburbs. The time has come, and he couldn’t be more excited to bring his passion to the future patients and athletes on the southwest side. Dr. Schroeder has always been an avid enthusiast of anatomy, rehabilitation and weightlifting and knew early on in his educational career that he wanted a profession that incorporated all of those passions, which led him to this great field of chiropractic.
